GOV. EASLEY ANNOUNCES $25,000 DONATION TO HURRICANE ISABEL RELIEF FUND
RALEIGH – Gov. Mike Easley today announced that GlaxoSmithKline has donated $25,000 to the Hurricane Isabel Relief Fund.
“This generous donation from GlaxoSmithKline will provide much needed relief,” Easley said. “Even though Hurricane Isabel came ashore more than three months ago, residents in eastern North Carolina are still in need of many resources to rebuild their communities and their lives.”
GlaxoSmithKline’s donation came from their Community Partnerships program. The program forms collaborative relationships that address important issues in national, state and local communities where GSK employees live and work. It focuses on corporate leadership and social investment programs with special emphasis on health, education and volunteerism. GSK employs about 6,000 people in Durham and Wake counties.
"Many North Carolinians still have not recovered from the devastation left by Hurricane Isabel," said Mary Linda Andrews, head of GlaxoSmithKline's Community Partnerships program. "We want to do what we can to help our neighbors and to aid their recovery."
The relief fund supplements state and federal government aid to storm victims, including providing food, medicine and other relief supplies. Since the fund’s establishment, approximately $1 million has been distributed to 41 counties in eastern North Carolina. To donate to the relief fund, click on the Hurricane Isabel Relief Fund icon from the Governor’s Office website at www.governor.state.nc.us or the State Portal at www.ncgov.com. To make a donation by mail, please make checks payable to the Hurricane Isabel Relief Fund and mail them to the Hurricane Isabel Relief Fund, Office of the Governor at 20301 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-030.
